During the seminar, we will reflect on criminal violence during 2020-2022 at the border city of Tijuana (Mexico). This period encompasses the Covid-19 health crisis as well as the historic global lockdown and of course, the unimaginable closure of the US-Mexico border for almost two years. This implied strong socioeconomic adjustments in both legal and illegal cross-border markets, which reflected a historic homicide rate during 2021, and the expansion of criminal organizations into the state capital: Mexicali, Baja California.
